 ===== Remote Peering =====
+Remote Peering means that the network operator connects to the Internet Exchange Point via a layer-2 infrastructure provider who is already physically present there. This avoids the hassles of the network operator having to provision their own physical infrastructure to connect to the IXP.
 Connecting to the IXP via Remote Peering has fewer stages as the layer-2 infrastructure provider will already be present at the IXP.
